Any public Pixelfed instance that allows Instagram import?

submitted 2 months ago by

Is there any public instance, where I could use function “import from instagram”?

Im looking for general instance, preferably hosted in Europe

Gram.social is a good one, hosted in Germany with thebimpoet feature available. Its the largest server in Europe. And second largest from the instances according to pixelfed.org/servers

Cant import? I’m not an Instagram user but as far as I’m aware there is an option to do that at settings > import > Import from Instagram (hit the import button)

That might be the thing; maybe others on this wonderful platform can help you further.

@Kkk2237pl Can I suggest that success here is modifying and building on existing tools that work with other existing tools and making them work better.

For example - I found git.sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup #dotmakeup by @vincent - which can pull instagram and twitter posts and syndicate them. #Friendica has add on that post to Twitter - so my thinking is that adding #dotmakup tools into Friendica would help allow users to migrate to Friendica while maintaining connections via Twitter and Instagram

Dropping back a bit Friendica works really well on #Yunohost - making #Yunohost easier to run on a homerouter as a drop in replacement for ISP supplied routers would mean that it would be easier for people to buy a bit of kit, take it home , turn it on , have their own ActivityPub server running fairly quickly and be linked into those existing communities (both ActivityPub and commercial)
